Paki Officials: Osama Lived in Haripur Before Moving to Abbottabad
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 7, 2011, 6:08 PM
Before moving to Abbottabad, Osama Bin Laden lived in a village in nearby Haripur.
Osama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan the home of the Pakistani military academy. It is only about 40 mi from Rawalpindi, military headquarters in Pakistan which is located near the capital Islamabad. Osama’s home was across the street from the military academy and a police station.

Osama’s wife said they lived in Haripur for years.
Dawn reported:
Investigators engaged in piecing together the life of Osama bin Laden since his dramatic escape from Afghanistan’s Tora Bora mountains have discovered the Al Qaeda chief had been living in Pakistan’s urban centres longer than they had thought.
They have also discovered that contrary to a widely held belief that the 54-year-old Al Qaeda leader required dialysis to treat his chronic kidney ailment, OBL was hale and hearty. The startling claims, according to two officials interviewed for this report, were made by Osama bin Laden’s 29-year-old Yemeni widow, one of the three widows in Pakistani custody.
Amal, according to officials familiar with the investigations, said that before moving to his sprawling compound in Bilal Town, Abbottabad, towards the end of 2005, Osama bin Laden had lived with his family in Chak Shah Mohammad Khan, a village in the nearby district of Haripur, for nearly two and a half years.
Chak Shah Mohammad, situated on the highway to Abbottabad, is two kilometres to the southeast of Haripur town.
In retrospect that meant, one of the officials observed, Osama had left the country’s tribal region sometime in 2003 to live in a settled area.
For years, since Osama’s disappearance in 2001 from Tora Bora to escape a US-led dragnet in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province, both Pakistani and American officials believed that Osama was hiding in the tribal region straddling the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
“Imagine, this guy was living in our midst in Haripur and Abbottabad for seven and a half years and we all, both Pakistanis and Americans, had been looking for him in the wrong direction,” one official remarked.

), I ‘ve been going back in time to see how this story about his dialysis started.
Since the moment I saw pictures of OBL’s compund and NO DIALYSIS in there, with NO autopsy performed on his body which was not even photographed ( yeah yeah
I think all the jokes, reports, late night monologues, propaganda and talking points about Osama and his dialysis track back to just one single report, on See BS by Mr Fake-but-accurate Rather. He really was on a mission against Bush IIRC.
Does this look like a hit -piece ?

—This is false, it was 800 meters from the Academy. Look it up on Google Earth.

We are shocked, shocked! Shocked, we tell you, that Obama was living in Abottabad.
The Pakistani Govt. The Pakistani ISI.

And now Osama lives at the bottom of the ocean….I hope.

Questions: The video today on Fox ( repeated over and over) of alledged Osama bin Laden in his room watching himself on video-to-TV cam does not look like Osama– his nose shrunk 2 inches ( Anatomically impossilbe!), he does not look the same or similiar to any of his other vids.
Also, his TV is old, and he looks to be quite poor. How is a multi-millionaire so poor?

Hi there My American Friends!
Slightly O/T but not that much.
I have read about that on FANTASTIC Pamela Geller’s blog Atlass Shrugs.
A lefty German layer has lodged a FRIVOLOUS legal complaint against the German Chancellor Angela Merkel for expressing a joy over the killng of OBL.
Even more shocking is that the majority of Krauts are supporting that scum (the layer’s presumption).
This is to a large degree an indication of Germany’s and Europe’s as well moral collapse and intellectual implosion.
On the funnier side, Merkel is experiencing (albeit on a much smaller scale) exactly what Sarah Palin had to go through.
Let’s hope that one day, two ladies shall have an opportunity to share theri experiences.
Palin/West, the Bravest and the Best!

The video of Bin Laden watching himself on TV was taken AFTER the so called raid on the complex. He’s laughing and saying “THAT WAS THE DAY THE AMERICANS ALMOST CAUGHT OSAMA BIN LADEN !!!”

oh i know, there have been so many stories/rumors.. and even though
i had read that when Zawahiri visited Iran in the beginning of 06 & told
the Ayatollah Osama died from an upper resperatory ailment in 12/05..
i made up my own story anyways.. ergo, i believe he was dead
and buried somewhere near Kandahar a very long time ago..
[maybe he got too close to one of those nasty little toxic cocktails they
were whipping up and gave him a pig blood transfusion or something
like that, who knows, rumors are so unreliable ..]
